Cohort 1: Stannsoporfin 1.5 mg/kg

Cohort 2: Stannsoporfin 3.0 mg/kg

Cohort 3: Stannsoporfin 4.5 mg/kg

Cohort 4: Placebo

Arm Description

Participants receive a single dose of 1.5 mg/kg by intramuscular (IM) injection, along with PhotoTherapy (PT) if and when needed.

Participants receive a single dose of 3.0 mg/kg by intramuscular (IM) injection, along with PT if and when needed.

Participants receive a single dose of 4.5 mg/kg by intramuscular (IM) injection, along with PT if and when needed.

Participants receive a single dose of placebo (sterile saline solution) by IM injection, along with PT if and when needed.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Adjusted Total Serum Bilirubin (TSB) From Baseline to 48 Hours After Treatment.
The adjusted TSB is a calculation of the percentage difference of the TSB level from the age-specific threshold for PT initiation per the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Guidelines, ie, an indication of the distance below the PT threshold at the time [(TSB - PT threshold/PT threshold) x 100%).
Change From Baseline in Total Serum Bilirubin (TSB) at 48 Hours (ITT Population
Total bilirubin in blood serum was measured at baseline and at 48 hours after the shot. Change from baseline is calculated by subtracting the amount at baseline from the amount at 48 hours. Lower numbers are better.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
It is a normal process in the human body for red blood cells to die, which makes bilirubin. Bilirubin is cleared away through the liver. Some babies are born with livers that don't work well enough yet, or their red blood cells are dying too fast, so the baby looks yellow (jaundice). This means there is too much bilirubin in the body. It can be dangerous if a baby's bilirubin gets too high. Phototherapy is what they call the lights they shine on newborn babies to help the liver get rid of bilirubin. This study tests an experimental drug to see if it can reduce how much bilirubin is being made in the first place.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine if an experimental drug, stannsoporfin, is safe and effective in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia in hemolyzing neonates.
